I gained several valuable insights from my participation in the Web Conference on Saturday, March 12th. For starters, I actually learned how to participate in one. I really wish my computer was equipped with a cameral a microphone but it was still interesting to listen. It was also nice because I know that the equipment is not necessary to gather information and participate. It was nice to put a face to my professor and I really felt that she is willing to help in any way possible. Sometimes the on-line courses feel very impersonal and this is a nice way to feel connected.
I got several good ideas and suggestions. When I go to take the LCE I will definately be staying for the review afterwards because several people said it was beneficial even if you passed. It was also brought to my attention that you don't actually site personal interviews on your reference page. Several students began brainstorming ways of using web conferencing within their classrooms and it made me think of possibilities also. I know several other math teachers that we could share data or presentations with and allow students to incorporate this technology.
Overall, it was a positive experience. I don't know that I have the knowledge to create a web conference of my own yet, but I can at least say I participated in one.
